<p>When do the ED applicants have to respond their decision by? Because I was wondering, as a deferee, that if accepted EDers don't matriculate, then wouldn't that mean all the deferees and RDers have a better chance?</p>
<p>Don't you have to matriculate as an ED applicant?</p>
<p>ED is binding...if accepted, one must matriculate.</p>
<p>In other words, there's no actual "reply date." You've already agreed to matriculate with your ED app.</p>
<p>i asked the admissions office and they said they only require deposit and papers of the like after the regular round decisions are sent out- we have plenty of time</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure they'll let us know when they want our money!! ;)</p>
